After several months of no turning, not enough time and other things going on, I've decided to give up on this turning lark. I have met many new friends in the turning fraternity, most of them through this wonderful forum, thank you all for your help over the past three or four years. I am...

Logged in today and the forum looks all weird. is it just me or is the forum had a make over.

I've had a couple of tutorials sitting here for quite a while that have been waiting to be uploaded, which after a few pointers from Jim a couple of weeks ago, I finally got my head around this morning. I've also taken the opportunity to re-organise them a little bit - some of the tutorials have...

Hello all my name is Martin and I am rather new to all this sawdust business :-) I have recently gotten into woodturning and penturning in particular. I must have watched hundreds of hours of youtube vids on penturning and read so many articles on-line but every time I looked for help with...

Hello, All. My name is Greg Hardy and I registered with the forum yesterday. I live in Western New York State (opposite end of the State from the City of New York), and have been pens for only a few years as a hobby that pays for itself. I joined the forum after having emailed back and forth...

There are quite a few members who post videos of their pen making endeavors on the forum, which usually result in a cracking pen at the end of it. Please don't stop posting them - we all enjoy watching them. BUT You might want to consider also inducing a still photo of the pen you've made...

Hi to you all on here, I've just stumbled across this forum and just spent the past couple of hours in fascination thumbing through some of the threads on here. Wow! I've done bits of turning (as a hobby) on and off (mostly off) since the mid 80's. A couple of years back I began to take an...

I needed some spares for some pens I brought a while ago from Dave and managed to stuff up the mechanisms and at the same time wanting to convert those that I had left into streamlines. I also took the oppertunity to buy a couple of Safety Razor kits. We always hear about bad service from...

It's been a tough and irritating few months, as everyone here will attest to. Since taking over the reigns from Jim last September, and migrating everything to a new server, the forum has been plagued by niggling little problems, ranging from not being able to send a PM on occasions, to being...

I am probably being a numpty here but how do you mark an item as sold in the sell forum?

Welcome BensBespoke Ben to the forum enjoy it as we do. Peter.

Important news - I have got to the bottom of the problem. If cannot get on the forum as a result of being timed out, it isn't because the forum has gone down or that it has a problem. The problem is 99.9% certain to be to do with your IP address. Everyone online has an IP address, which is a...

Sorry guys, but i've been having major problems getting onto the forum over the last couple of days & the problems are still continuing at the moment (at first I thought the forum was down)! In the meantime if anyone wants to contact me with regards to these moulds I'm making or any other...

This morning Resource Limit Is Reached The website has exceeded its resource limit. This happened on opening a post a while ago. Trouble on the forum. In response to your request Phil. Peter.

Thanks for accepting me into this forum. I have been turning for about 4 years now and only recently started turning pens. I've turned 2 to be exact! I found it relaxing! Although I prefer to turn bowls, platters, hollow forms etc. I hope to get a lot of information from this forum and connect...
